Ultrasound-Guided Sclerotherapy
A Non-Invasive Varicose Vein Treatment

Ultrasound-guided sclerotherapy is an innovative treatment option that uses precise ultrasound imaging to treat varicose and spider veins by targeting the underlying vein disease at its source. At Laurel Clinical, we use this advanced approach to deliver a sclerosing solution directly into the affected veins, causing them to close and gradually disappear over time. This technique not only addresses the visible signs of varicose veins but also provides relief from related symptoms like swelling and discomfort. By combining ultrasound technology with sclerotherapy, we’re able to offer patients a safe, effective, and minimally invasive option for both cosmetic and therapeutic vein care.

What is ultrasound-guided sclerotherapy?

Ultrasound-guided sclerotherapy is a minimally invasive medical procedure designed to treat varicose and spider veins by using ultrasound imaging to precisely guide the injection of a special solution into the affected veins. In this procedure, a sclerosing agent is injected into the problematic vein, causing the vein walls to stick together, close off, and gradually fade over time. By utilizing ultrasound technology, the doctor can visualize the veins in real time, ensuring accurate delivery of the treatment to even deeper or harder-to-reach veins, which may not be visible on the surface of the skin.

The sclerosing solution irritates the inner lining of the vein, prompting the vein to collapse and eventually be reabsorbed by the body, redirecting blood flow to healthier veins. This process helps alleviate symptoms of venous disease, such as pain, swelling, and fatigue, while also improving the appearance of the treated area. Ultrasound-guided sclerotherapy is widely considered a safe, effective, and precise option for patients suffering from venous issues, providing both cosmetic and therapeutic benefits with minimal downtime.

Crafting Your Treatment Plan

During this initial meeting, we’ll take the time to understand your specific needs, exploring whether ultrasound sclerotherapy is the right treatment for your varicose veins and how it can address your aesthetic and health-related goals.

We will explain the benefits of ultrasound-guided sclerotherapy, detailing how it can help you achieve relief from symptoms like pain and swelling and improve the appearance of affected veins. You’ll be guided through each stage of the treatment process, so you’ll know exactly what to expect during and after your appointment.

The Ultrasound guided sclerotherapy experience

Laurel Clinical’s ultrasound-guided sclerotherapy treatment begins with a consultation with a friendly coordination team, where the practitioner reviews the customized treatment plan to ensure patient preparation and confidence.

The treatment itself begins by reviewing the need for any pain killers or pain relief gas. Using ultrasound imaging, your practitioner will locate the targeted veins with precision, guiding the injection to ensure optimal results. A sclerosing solution is then injected into the affected veins, causing them to close and gradually be absorbed by the body. This careful, guided approach allows us to treat the veins accurately while minimizing any discomfort.

Following the injections, we’ll provide you with a clear set of aftercare instructions to support a smooth recovery. Most patients find they can resume daily activities shortly after treatment, as the process is minimally invasive and typically takes under an hour to complete. Our team is here to support you in every way, helping you achieve relief from symptoms and improve the appearance of your legs with confidence.

The Recovery period

The recovery period after ultrasound-guided sclerotherapy is generally quick and straightforward, allowing most patients to comfortably resume their regular activities soon after their appointment. While some initial symptoms, such as minor swelling, redness, or tenderness, may occur at the injection site, these are typically mild and tend to resolve within a few days. The treatment encourages gradual improvement in both the appearance and symptoms of the treated veins, as the sclerosing solution causes the veins to close and be naturally absorbed by the body over time.

Your practitioner will provide you with detailed post-treatment care instructions to help optimize your recovery and results. You may be advised to wear compression stockings for a period, which supports the treated veins and promotes proper healing. We’ll also discuss the expected timeline for your results so you know when to anticipate full improvement. While immediate changes may be subtle, many patients see significant results within a few weeks, enjoying a noticeable reduction in symptoms and enhanced appearance of the treated areas.

Potentials Risks& Side Effects

Complications and side effects of ultrasound-guided sclerotherapy are generally mild and temporary. Common side effects include minor bruising, redness, or tenderness at the injection site, which usually resolve within a few days. Rarely, more serious complications such as blood clots, inflammation, or allergic reactions to the sclerosing agent may occur, but these are uncommon and can be managed with proper medical attention. Following aftercare instructions and wearing compression stockings as advised can help minimize these risks.

How Effective is it?

Ultrasound-guided sclerotherapy is a highly effective treatment for varicose and spider veins, often achieving a clearance rate of 60-80% in treated veins. The use of ultrasound allows for precise targeting, making it especially useful for veins that are deeper or harder to access with traditional sclerotherapy techniques. Most patients experience a noticeable reduction in symptoms like pain and swelling, along with significant improvement in the visual appearance of their veins. This level of clearance not only enhances comfort but also contributes to a longer-lasting result, particularly when combined with lifestyle measures to support vein health.
